Roy, If I remember correctly my physics teacher showed that based on what is written in the Bible, heaven have a much higher temperature than hell..... We are wandering way off-topic here so I'm a bit reluctant to post this on r.r.a.h Ah! what the hell!, it's only a few KB of text.... The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cool when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: "First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1) If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2) If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "...it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having an affair with her, then #2 above cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze over." THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A". 73, Ed, EI9GQ. -- Remove 'X' to reply by e-mail http://homepage.eircom.net/~ei9gq Linux 2.4.21 |

Heaven is the warm place you go after freezing your behind off your whole life. Here in Texas 100F in the summer is a small price to pay for 70F in December. My cousins in Wisconsin still put up with -35F in the winter, I consider Texas heaven and Wisconsin hell. No ice build up on antenna towers, and your mobile station doesn't rust out after 10 years from the salt on the roads (just to put a little amatuer content in the message). thanks, John. KC5DWD |

I spent some time in Fla during a normal summer, and I though I was going to die at any moment. The folks I stayed with didn't use air conditioning. Maybe I'll move to Alaska when I retire.

I live for the winter! I spent a winter in Korea. The stools in the latrine froze and exploded when a lackwit left the transom open. I really do _NOT_ like temperatures in the vicinity of -55°F. Then again, I was born in Oklahoma, grew up in Houston, and have lived in Oklahoma since 1970. It was only 101°F today here. -- Insofar as the police deter by their presence, they are very, very good. Criminals take great pains not to commit a crime in front of them. -- Jeffrey Snyder |

The question seems daft, but bear with me, gentlemen. Has anyone ever had an electric shock that they feel lucky to have survived? No, can't say I have..... I do remember once when I had just got to work and a line operator came into the lab complaining that he had blown the fuse on a power supply. It was one of those twist on black cap ones, that held the fuse inside it. Well, I pulled it out and without thinking just shoved a new fuse in and wham! Ya! I'm up! That worked better that 10 cups of coffee! |
